“…It will become clear, however, that unlike Rö hdich and others (Burnett 1985;Gregory 1991;Papadopoulou 2005: 84-85), I do not see the outcome of this exploration as a rehabilitation of conventional piety or myth. 13 Unlike Aeschylus, he lived and wrote during a period when we are quite certain that medical texts were circulating, physicians were active 11.…”

“…Holzhausen 2000 even tries to argue that neither aristophanes nor aristotle testify to a didactic function of tragedy. on the other hand, see Gregory 1991, who shows aspects of instruction in euripides, and Croally 1994.17-47 for a balanced discussion of the testimonies (with further literature on 17 n. 1). 35 For example, Griffin 1998Griffin , 1999 warns against limiting tragedy to its political aspect.…”

The Hermeneutics and Poetics of Memory in Aeschylus's Persae

This article reads the Persae as a reflection on memory. First, it shows that the characters' reflections on the act of remembering add up to a hermeneutics of memory. Second, it is argued that these reflections can be applied to the Persae, which is an act of memory itself—the hermeneutics of memory can be turned into a poetics of memory. Third, this approach is complemented by an interpretation of Darius as a mise en abyme. In the same way that the genre of tragedy brings the past onto the stage, Darius presents an embedded past that enters the present of the action.

This paper looks at a relatively neglected character in Greek tragedy: the people. I cannot claim to produce a complete survey of this issue; however, I shall identify some different ways in which a tragic poet could portray a city's population, and discuss some examples.This is an important and interesting topic for two reasons, which are linked throughout, for behind my argument is the contention that a consideration of the original staging of a tragedy can help us to understand its politics. In the first place, it is instructive to ask how a poet could meet the challenge of representing the population of a city on stage; in the second, this exercise is likely to shed light on the political function of Greek tragedy. More specifically, it will shed light on the relationship between tragedy and democracy - a vexed question in recent years - for no consideration of democracy in drama can neglect the role of democracy's central player.
